ADAM ROBERTS Of this city died on
Thursday morning last from cancer on
the tongue. He has suffered for some
time from the affection and all attempts
to stay its growth were unavailing.
Mr.. Roberts was born at Montford
Bridge, county Shropshire, England,
August Is, 1914 and came to America in
1874. He settled at Racine where he hy-
ed two years and then came to Manito-
voc starting the first wagon and black
smith shop in this place. The population
of Manitowoc was rather insignificant at
that time the number of houses in the
place. including shanties, being only 81
In 1857 Mr.. Roberts with his family
moved to Meme where he lived for three
years, then returning to Manitowoc where
he lived until the time of his death. He
was married while in England to Miss
Worrall. After her death he married
Mrs. Anna Clark at Racine.
Mr. Roberts always had warm place
in the affections of the old inhabitants,
particularly among the farmers whose
favorite blacksmith he was in the early
days.

FATHER PITT of Meme has begun a
form of temperance work that will bear
good fruit. He is inducing a number of
the young boys in his congregation to
take temperance pledge for a number
of years. When the time has expired
there will not be much danger of their
forming drinking habits. Parents should
encourage their pastor in this work
There is no Disgusting the fact that
liquor has been more of curse to the
Irish people than bad government and
emancipation from the habit is more to
community with temperance proclivities
would do much to make the nationality
more respected.

l.. j. NASH IS one OF the happiest men,
politically speaking, in the land because
of Cleyeland's message. He has acted
with the democrats for some time because
he was disguised with the alarm flag
exhibited about election times that the
success OF the republican party was
essential to the safety of the country.
With the issue outlined in Cleveland's
message dividing the parties and con-
shutting the principal plank in the
democratic platform for 1888, we may
expect to hear from Mr. Nash as a valued
political speaker on the democratic side
next fall. Cleveland's message has won
over many such men and their voice is
powerful.
